About

With five Grammy wins and sixteen nominations, Brittany Howard follows up her massively acclaimed solo debut Jaime with the new single "What Now" and teases what is to come from her upcoming album of the same name. Like Jaime (whose celebratory single "Stay High" earned a Grammy for Best Rock Song), What Now finds Howard once again taking the helm as producer and working closely with longtime collaborator engineer/co-producer/co-mixer Shawn Everett. The album emerged through a deliberately free-flowing process, with Howard doubling down on the unfettered creativity that's long defined her work. "I don't ever plan too deeply, but usually I show up with the songs almost fully formed," she says. "There was a lot of exploring sounds on the spot, and trusting that the right thing would come to us."

"What Now" takes on a potent urgency fueled by its syncopated grooves, blistering guitar riffs, and fiercely honest lyrics ("I've been making plans that don't include you anymore/My heart wants to stay but I don't know what for"). "'What Now' is maybe the truest and bluest of all the songs," says Howard. "It's never my design to hurt anyone's feelings, but I needed to say what was on my mind without editing myself. I like how it's a song that makes you want to dance, but at the same time the lyrics are brutal."

There's a double meaning to the title of What Now. "With the world we're living in now, it feels like we're all just trying to hang onto our souls," says the Nashville-based musician and frontwoman for four-time Grammy Award-winning Alabama Shakes. "Everything seems to be getting more extreme and everyone keeps wondering, 'What now? What's next?'

    Out of this world

    by Xqueen on 3/2/24

    Her stage presence is out of this world. The stage lighting and amazing backing band made it a full package performance.

    Amazing production but poor timing and venue

    by Ta on 2/29/249:30 CLUB - Washington

    Brittany Howard and her musical group were phenomenal. The show started way too late after the doors actually open and venue felt way too cramped for the number of people.

    Even better live

    by MOC on 2/24/249:30 CLUB - Washington

    Brittany Howard’s smooth as scotch voice is seven warmer and more wonderful in person. Great show with supremely skilled musicians.

    Fresh Musical Perfection

    by Kristy on 2/24/249:30 CLUB - Washington

    Brittany and her band we on point from the moment they walked on stage. They did most work from her new release, What Now. Her sound is fresh and uniquely her own. I love her unabashed willingness to be her self and to share it so precisely.

    Fantastic!

    by CCinDC on 2/23/249:30 CLUB - Washington

    Brittany Howard is quite an enigmatic artist - ever evolving and full of fire. And, as always, love attending performances at I.M.P. venues; 9:30 still rocks!
